Application filed May 21, 19184 To (17/ 117mm. it may r'omw'nr lie it known that L Lotus l3. HARVEY, a citizen oi the United States of i'kinerica, residing a the city and county of San Fran- State of California, have invented certain new and useful linprovenieniis in Disk-W'heels; and i do declare the follow 'ing to be a clear. full, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing 's, and to the characters of reference marked thereon. which form a part oi this application.

- Thi invention relates to in'iprorenients in wl :els. particularly to that type used on inotor vehicles. The. object of the invention is to produce a wheel in which metal disks may be substituted for the wooden or wire spokes now commonly used. The present invent-ion is designed as an improvement over that structure shown in my pending application for patent filed Iilareh 4th. 1918. Serial Nuinl'ier 220.161. In this present application, l also provide a reintoreed dislr mounted between the two outer dislcs in angular relation thereto So as to overcome side strain to which the wheel is subj cred. Also, the present inrentii'm provides an improved hub and rini onnecting means.

A still further object of the invention is to produee a simple and inexpensive device and yet one which will be exceedingly eil'cetive for the purposes for which it is designed.

'lhese objects I accomplish by means of such structure andrelative arrangement. of the parts as will fully appear by a perusal of the followingspecification and claim.

The figure oi, the drawings is a vertical section throu the, hub and one-half of the wheel, showing the construction thereof.

From the foregoing description it will readily be seen that I have produced such a device as substantiallyfulfils the objects of the invention as set forth herein.

lVhile this specification sets forth in detail the present and preferred construction of the device, still in practice such deviations from such detail may he resorted to as do not .orm a departure from the spirit of the invention, as defined by the appended claim.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and useful. and desire to secure by Letters Patent is A disk wheel including a hub, a felly. a pair of inwardly projecting annular flange-s on the fully, a disk fixedtoeach end of the hub and extending adJncent each flange 1n parallel relation thereto, a third disk fixed to one end of the hub andinclined toward the flange *hieh lies in the plane opposite the hub end to which such disk is secured, such disk then bending to extend parallei to such flange, and bolts projecting through all the disks andflnnges and lltflilng nuts to bind the same together.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
